Good Morning All,
I got my FlightLine F4U-1D (Bubble Top) from a Swap Shop that was held at the Toledo Weak Signals flying field. This is supposed to be a yearly event. Anyway this is my families Christmas present to me. I purchased a Gen's Ace 6S 5000Mah to go into the plane. When I purchased the plane it was already painted for the Pacific theater, with the sky blue outer wing panels, the white belly and the rest in navy. I talked to Wes at Merry Boozers and learned about Papa dotting. I Papa dotted the plane to my likes and made a little video of it. The Merry Boozer have show it on one of there live shows. That video is attached. This was my first time attempting to "dot" any plane. Judge for yourselves. Having issues loading an .mp4 to this page. Here is the Youtube link to the video:

Elbee,
Thank you for your comments. The Toledo Weak Signals Show is no more. They didn't have it this year and will never have it again. The club put out a letter to the AMA regarding the show, I think it was in the September, October time frame. It is a sad thing to loose this show altogether.

I have a question on the metal motor mount for the FlightLine F4U-1D, is one of the tab on the metal motor mount supposed to be bent in an upward direction in comparison to the other 3 ? This is the metal motor mount that screws to the back side of the electric motor and on to the circular plastic mount in the nose ? I crashed my Corsair and mine is bent, that is why I am checking. According to the instruction manual it looks flat.

Look ma, no trim , For paint match see P. 185 Post #3694. Don't think you will get a match w/ Tamiya.. There are also other Brand (like Lowes) paint matches listed in this Squawk.

It does look like the plane has just been discovered in an old barn somewhere 😉
